The Woman From Hell

What happened to Shannon gave me a wake-up call. I kept thinking about what Delia said when I was driving, and the more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I thought of asking Delia for clarification the moment I turned the steering wheel.

The light turned red at the front, and I suppressed this thought with a wry smile while waiting for ten seconds to pass.

I knew it was pointless for me to look for her.

Delia was glib. She would not tell me the truth at all. We would only end up arguing in the end if I went to her at this time.

This was a predictable result.

I felt tired just thinking about it.

The light turned green, and instead of turning, I followed the road back to the apartment.

I walked up to the apartment, switched to my slippers, and put my car keys down. I looked up and saw Marius sitting on the sofa in the living room. His dark eyes moved to me from the shining TV. He stood up as if having sensed my exhaustion and helped me to the sofa. He then poured me a glass of water.

He waited till I drank the water and asked, "What happened, Sis Wan? You're frowning. Did you encounter something that you can't solve? Why don't you tell me about it? I can help or give you some ideas."

I was not surprised at how observant he was. I sunk back into the soft sofa. Just like Marius said, there was no point in me hiding it. I might as well try to come up with a breakthrough with him.

"Shannon got into an accident when she was on the way home after work this evening. I suspect someone is targeting her."

Marius put away his cavalier attitude and rubbed his chin, asking, "You're saying the car accident is not as simple as it seems... Did the traffic officers not catch the guy?"

He hit the nail on the head with that question. I sighed. "They got away. They probably left with the crowd after crashing into Shannon. The police are looking into it."

However, the road was a busy one with heavy traffic. Who knew how long we would have to look if we had to go through the surveillance footage?

My worries were written all over my face "Sis Wan, I'll get someone to look into this. Miss Collins will have someone protecting her, so don't worry," Marius comforted me. That might be the case, but I still could not get my mind under control. My thoughts kept running wild.

Moreover, suspected I was the reason Shannon was involved in this. How could I drag Marius into this? was afraid I would regret it later if something happened to Marius as well.

Having gotten my thoughts in order, I immediately refused him. "No. You can't get involved in this."

The sudden rise in my voice startled Marius, but he was also a stubborn one. The more I refused, the more he wanted to help.

"Sis Wan, what if I want to get involved anyway?" Marius probed, and he was doing it quite toughly.

"You can't."

Marius was not giving up. "Sis Wan, you don't have any contacts in this aspect. How are you going to look into it? Even if you do manage to find out the person behind this, what are you going to do? Someone who dares act against Miss Collins can't possibly be an ordinary person."

His analysis was thorough, and I understood his reasoning.

Still, I shook my head. "Marius, do you want me to see you hurt because of me?" I asked, almost begging.

"No, you've already gotten injured. I can't resign myself to fate." My expression was solemn.

The two of us knew very well that the person behind the scenes might be targeting me. Whatever happened to Shannon and the incident at Julienne Hotel were just warnings. They were warning me to be good or else they would take away more from me.

Marius and I looked at each other for a few seconds. He pressed his thin lips together tightly, and in the end he gave up. He raised his hands and pretended to be relaxed. "I get it, Sis Wan I'm not going to argue with you."
